Alphanumeric’s own Steve Rao works with NC REAL Enterprises to stimulate youth entrepreneurship
Alphanumeric Systems, Inc.is proud to commend the accomplishments of one of its own: business development manager Steve Rao has been named the newest member of the NC REAL EnterprisesBoard of Directors. He began his three-year term on June 29.
Rao joined the Alphanumeric team in January, 2011. In his time with the 32 year-old IT services company, Rao has been able to effectively steer new business opportunities to the company, leveraging the broad network he built through his experience as a 2010 candidate for Wake County Commissioner, and as an entrepreneur (He founded the sports management company TSG Academies, now run by Tim Wilkison Academies). In his role with NC REAL Enterprises, Rao will help to inspire entrepreneurial spirit among mostly rural youth, extending his expertise to the next generation.
“I am honored to spend the next few years working as an NC REAL board member,” Rao says. “I hope to help create jobs in rural North Carolina by fostering innovation and entrepreneurship throughout our state, and by helping our youth aspire to be the generation which leads us back to economic prosperity.”
NC REAL Enterprises’ interim executive director, Dr. Eleanor Herndon, looks forward to the entrepreneurial insight Rao will bring to the organization. “NC REAL is a 25 year-old nonprofit governed by a Board of Directors that represent all geographic areas of the state, who are interested in entrepreneurship education among youth and adults, who believe that innovative thinkers are critical to job creation, and who support our work in the most rural areas of the state,” she says. “As an entrepreneur, Steve Rao will add value to our board and our organization, and we are pleased he has accepted this invitation.”
Alphanumeric is proud to support Rao in his new role at NC REAL Enterprises as part of an ongoing commitment to serving the community and encouraging employees to do likewise.

Our employees volunteer for causes including animal rescue, cancer research, and community outreach.
